Customer Reviews

This product is amazing! It keeps my brown sugar nice and soft and easy to use. Its wonderful that I can make sure that I don't have to deal with rock hard brown sugar every use. I would recommend making sure it is COMPLETELY dry before putting it into your brown sugar because otherwise the sugar will clump and stick to the disk.

I had a package of brown sugar that I thought was definitely done for. It was rock hard-- I slammed it on my slate floors to try to break off a little piece and that didn't even work. I was shopping at Sur La Table for other things when I saw this product at the check out counter. It's so reasonably priced so I decided to give it a try. Wow, I can't believe how well it worked!! My once rock-hard bag of brown sugar is now soft and restored and tastes great again! It worked very effectively and quickly and I am so pleased with it. This will be a staple in my kitchen from now on

This thing is incredible. I put it in my jar of brown sugar which was harder than rock last night. This morning I woke up and the sugar felt like I'd just opened the bag for the first time - completely soft. I can't believe it took me so long to discover this little miracle worker! Best $4 I've ever spent.

This little thing is like magic and neater than other suggestions I have heard--such as putting an apple slice in the sugar. I soaked it as instructed and some brown sugar I had that was rock hard is now soft like it was when I got it!

Why else? I have tried EVERYTHING I know of to keep my brown sugar soft---but it gets hard inside of a month no matter what---clips on bag inside of airtight container etc. Thought I'd try this as it got good reviews.

As the instructions say, you should soak the sugar saver in water for 15 minutes so it absorbs moisture, and then pat it dry with a towel so that it is dry to the touch (not dripping) and then place it in the bag.

Any reason why it is not working in my bag of brown sugar? I've followed the directions but it still feels hard.

BEST ANSWER:When it works it works good; when it doesn't, it doesn't. Reason could be it wasn't soaked for a long enough time to start, there was air getting in or moist air escaping from the bag via tears or holes or a too lose closure, or the sugar needed more moisture than just a one time soaked clay - you may need to re-soak it and use it a few times. Hope this helps.

My brown sugar saver works fine with the following conditions: I soak it in warm water for 20 minutes then quickly dab it dry with paper towel then place it in the plastic bag and place that bag in an airtight container. If no air gets to it, it will stay soft.

My brown sugar saver grew black mold Is this because I soaked it in the water too long? I did not time the 15 minutes recommended.

BEST ANSWER:Did you pat it dry before you submerged it in your brown sugar? It's job is to keep brown sugar soften. Like anything that holds moisture, it is the balance of the moisture that helps it do the job. Too much moisture and it will grow mold. I suggest you throw that one out and start anew. Do the 15 minute soak, dry off, and then put it in your brown sugar. It will work like a charm. Hope this helps.
